Congress bought Jefferson's library in 1815 and it became the foundation of the Library of Congress after much of the first collection was fired by the British. In 1851 a fire destroyed about 2/3 of the items. LOC has been working for years to obtain replacement volumes to reassemble the library. The fruits of their efforts are now on public display.

IT’s true, I am relentless. It’s possible to anyone who doesn’t really need to have a life. ;’)

Like Lincoln said, after 40 a man is responsible for his face. Check out that face, full of strength and integrity. A man of principle, my hat’s off to you Jeff. Not many like you, ever.
